Scaling laws for the linear theta pinch: a comparison of magnetic and laser heating
The scaling laws for a linear theta-pinch reactor are developed. Conventional magnetic heating and laser heating of the plasma are compared. It is shown that, if a confining magnetic field of 400 kG is used, a power producing reactor need be only 1.2 km long. (32 references) (auth)
